Text message scam

I got a text message at 3.46am it said:-

Someone has posted your full personal and banking information at http://persdata7.com website. You must remove it now.
From:+380672132627

This got me really worried so I put in a search for this website and it seems to be a scam. I did not reply to text. I will post this in tech forum also, to see if anyone can help.
Just warning others not to panic as I think this is a scam.

UPDATE
ESUHL from techie forum has kindly put my mind at rest, this was the answer:-

Well... country code 38 (in the phone number) relates to Yugoslavia before the break-up, so I'd assume it to be a scam. The website appears to be suspended too.

Anyway, why would anyone post your details on a public website? Most "identity theft" is by hard-nosed profiteers. Far better to keep your details private so they can either exploit you or sell them off the highest bidder.

Hope this sets your mind at ease!

Oh, and it also appears on the malware domain list below, so I guess they were hoping you'd visit the website and infect your PC.
